-It looks like these plants would be used as chloride accumulators, and their contaminated above-ground biomass would be harvested and disposed of for years until chloride levels in the soil diminished. +This research is very new, and I'm not aware of any real life chloride phytoremediation projects currently underway. It looks like these plants would be used as chloride accumulators, and their contaminated above-ground biomass would be harvested and disposed of for years until chloride levels in the soil diminished. 
  
 It may be worth noting that some of these plants are [[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0048969716317144|excretor halophytes]] (known as recretohalophytes) which have specialized salt glands that allow accumulated salt to be excreted onto their leaf surfaces and then dispersed via the wind in a process known as haloconduction. This make make them less effective for remediation purposes.  It may be worth noting that some of these plants are [[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0048969716317144|excretor halophytes]] (known as recretohalophytes) which have specialized salt glands that allow accumulated salt to be excreted onto their leaf surfaces and then dispersed via the wind in a process known as haloconduction.
